Stephen F Austin could make the tournament. They're 5-1 since the Duke game. The only loss was to a decent Alabama team

I just don’t see why people think Louisville and Ohio State are better than us. I just don’t see it. Hell Gonzaga too. We have depth and play elite defense

I did see the other day Duke is the only team in the country with four quadrant 1 wins. So there’s a case to be made.

That said, we did lose to Stephen F. Austin. I just hope we keep improving and winning games. We do that and all the rest will take care of itself.

This. We are currently in better shape for a 1 seed than anyone else even if we are ranked #4.
I'd much rather be ranked 4th and have 4 Quadrant 1 wins than be Gonzaga and sit at #1 all year and I believe they will be maxed out at 2 quadrant 1 wins, they better dominate their conference or they aren't getting a 1 seed.

No big deal right now. We weren’t ranked #1 in 15 or 10 til April. We still have room for improvement.
Being number 1 doesn't bother me, it's just when I listen to these podcasts and shows they name everyone except Duke. I just don't understand how they can't see we are clearly a title contender. I've never seen a good Duke team get slept on so much

I know Jay Bilas seems to like everyone more than Duke. He hardly ever has anything good to say about them. Everytime he says a team is definitely number one they seem to lose.

This may be the Duke Bizzaro World year. Stumble early and end up doing unexpectedly, to the talking heads, well and actually playing 8-9 players. I will love watching this develop.

It means something to me. We are ranked 4 and the holes are ranked.......well. As long as I have bragging rights on these idiot fans, I’m good.

Ok if that's how you feel then great...but the 68 teams come March is all that matters to me

6 seed in the east will drop a couple or three spots after they lose their 3rd in a row this Saturday!!
By all rights they should lose Saturday...but. UL folds up like a cheap chair against UK most years. UK is in desperation mode, they will be intense for 40 minutes, can UL match that intensity. UL has a better front court, UK has a better backcourt. Should make for an interesting game

I wouldn’t touch that game for any amount of money
